Taitung

Eastern City

Sitting between the mountains and the sea, Taitung offers pleasing scenery no matter what direction you face. Such natural features have been complemented by the sensitive development of the city which, because of the mountains, remains fairy hard to reach by road from other cities on the island. This means that many distinctive neighborhoods have retained their character, with notably Japanese and Chinese-built areas, and aboriginal districts to explore during a visit to Taitung. Artists from across the country have begun to open up studios in this pleasant coastal town, surrounded by rice paddies and forests of fruit trees, with a rustic atmosphere and cool sea air.
